Consultation description

The UK Emissions Trading Scheme (UK ETS) was established with effect from 1 January 2021, at the point the UK stopped participating in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS).

The Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) came into effect on 1 January 2019 and was transposed into UK law by the Air Navigation (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) Order 2021.

We need to take account of these schemes and make minor consequential changes to the main part of our enforcement and sanctions policy to make reference to the schemes.

We also need to update Annex 2 of this policy which sets out the Environment Agencys approach to applying climate change civil penalties.

We want your views on the proposed:

  • revisions to Section A to take account of the UK ETS and CORSIA
  • new Section G for UK ETS
  • new Section H for CORSIA
